A word to the wise, Gates Pass eats axail cvds for lunch w dig. Might want to consider beefing up pins at the very least.

Ask me how I know lol

Rig is looking good by the way

[Highlucks]

Looks good bud, though I am pretty sure you have the front lowers mounted back to front.

[poncho_ponch]

@ Erin thanks for the heads up.
@ highlucks I thought they were but I wasn't to sure thanks.
@ Drv your build up is one that I have booked marked and read and re-read. What oil weight are you running.

Funny you should ask that about the weight. I was just discussing that the other day. I actually am running just the factory oil in both of my crawlers and my current project build. I have got much better result by changing springs than changing oil weight. That is what works for me.

Here is an updated pic of my trans. With HR dig. It looks like its going to be a very tight fit once the servo goes on.

I also have an HR dig, but mine did not have that small plate for mounting the dig servo. Mine actually had a HUGE plate that was supposed to replace the AX10 battery top plate.

Do you have any pics showing how the plate attaches to the tranny?

Nice build, you need to update again soon!

[poncho_ponch]

Eric my hr dig also came with the big plate. HR sells the plate for the dig. Model # scp39sm01. Her is a pic of how it mounts. The. Only update that I have is the HH 45t motor. The build is super slow cause my hours have been cut at work. Hopefully I can get it done here soon.
